Complete the story, then clean up with Level Select
Unlock Terrible Lizards achievements by completing the story, collecting notes, tapes and amber, and finishing the optional interaction and death challenges. Use Level Select for missed pickups, then tackle You Go Here by carrying each stuffed animal to its pedestal without dying after pickup.
Every achievement and its unlock condition
Steam has 15 achievements, while PlayStation has 16 trophies. PlayStation adds The Ultimate Survivor for earning every other trophy. Entering the attraction and finishing the levels provide the story unlocks; the collection, interaction and death conditions need separate attention.

Follow the Story, Detours and Safe Carries route
- Start with the main story and collect what you find. Entering the attraction and completing the levels supplies the story unlocks; leave the careful stuffed-animal carries for after you know the routes. Use this pass to learn the platforming while exploring for notes, tapes and amber.
Spin the globe for Globe-fetti. In the Watering Hole exhibition in Chapter 1, look near where the employee was standing for the globe. Keep interacting until it spins fast enough and the achievement unlocks; watch the globe interaction if you need help recognizing it.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
- Take the rock-kicking detour in Chapter 2. Continue past the room with dinosaur bones and swing across the crane arm. In the next room, choose the cave on the left beside the blue porta potties, rather than the small hole on the right, and follow it to trigger the cutscene for Kick the Rock.
- Activate each Paleo Pal talk box as you explore the attraction. Paleo Pal Review comes from these interactions, so make time for the mascot stops alongside ordinary pickups. Keep this as a separate cleanup target from the notes, tapes and amber needed by Hoarder.
- Handle How was the fall? and Join Us for a Bite before beginning a stuffed-animal attempt. A lethal fall earns the former, while being caught and eaten by a larger enemy earns the latter. If either remains locked after your story playthrough, complete that death condition before picking up an animal.
- Return to the main menu and use Level Select for missed collectibles and incidental achievements. Clear your collection gaps, then return for focused stuffed-animal attempts. Since Level Select lets you revisit completed levels, a missed pickup does not require restarting the whole story.
Carry each stuffed animal to its pedestal
Save You Go Here for levels you can navigate comfortably. Each level has a stuffed animal near its start and a pedestal near its end, and dying after pickup loses the animal. If that happens, quit to the main menu and restart the level through Level Select to collect it again. Focus on reaching the pedestal instead of mixing the carry with optional exploration.
| Chapter | Stuffed-animal pickup | Pedestal location |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1 | Climb the ladder in the box office and collect the animal on the ground beside the tent. | In a corner of the basement where you collect the fuses. |
| Chapter 2 | On the boxes to your right at the start of the chapter. | After using the gondola key to open the small gate, enter the cave on the right. The pedestal is in the large cave with water. |
| Chapter 3 | Near the start, cross the wooden planks floating in the water beside the gated area. | After climbing the large metal structure, look left when you reach the slope-shaped building. |
| Chapter 4 | On the ground after the opening chase, as soon as you regain control of Jordan. | On the left of the path just after you blast a hole through the door with dynamite. |
Keep collection cleanup separate from carry attempts
Use Bingo, Dino DNA, Audiophile and Pterry's Scrapbook to identify which collection category still needs attention. Hoarder requires all notes, tapes and amber together. Stuffed-animal deliveries and Paleo Pal talk boxes have their own unlocks, so keep those tasks on your cleanup list as well.
Treat a replay for missing pickups as practice for the next carry attempt. Learn the jumps that gave you trouble, finish your optional exploration, and return with the stuffed animal when you feel comfortable with the route.
